I've never agreed with the war on terror, or at least the methods used to fight it. Sure, I don't agree with what terrorists do, but I do realize that they're people as well. They believe in their cause just as much as Bush believes in his. Like Cloud No.9 said, they're not some great evil force,they are people, and they have their own reasons, though they don't really use the most effective methods of getting their points across. The actions of terrorists did provoke Bush's war on terror.

I'd say the laws passed are just as extreme as 9/11. They disregarded human life when they attacked the twin towers, but we're disregarding human life and human rights when we pretty much abduct people on shaky suspicions and then use them to try to frighten others into submission. It's just not right.
